MACHINERY FOR COMPOSING PLAYING-CARDS IN PACKS.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 420,194, dated January 28, 1890.

Application filed December 3, 1887- Serial No. 256,921. (No model.) Patented in France October 19, 1887, No. 186,478; in Belgium October 19, 1887, No. 79,294; in England October 19, 1887, No. 14,225; in Germany October 20, 1887, No. 47,155; in Italy November 29, 1887,XXI, 22,464, XLIV, 256, and in Austria-Hungary August 20, 1888, No. 12,966 and No. 28,585-

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that 1, PAUL GAUCHOT, a citizen of the Republic of France, residing at Paris, in said Republic, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Machinery for Composing Playing-Cards in Packs, (for which I have obtained a brevet d invention in France, No. 186,478, dated October 19, 1887; a brevet d invention in Belgium, No. 7 9,294,

10 dated October 19, 1887; a brevet d invention in Italy, XXI, 22,464, XLIV, 256, dated November 29, 1887; a patent of the Empire of Germany, No. 47,155, dated October 20, 1887; a patent in Austria-Hungary, No. 12,966 and I 5 No. 28,585, dated August 20, 1888, and Letters Patent in Great Britain, No. 14,225, dated October 19, 1887,) of which the following is a specification, reference being had to the accompanying drawings. The work to be done by the machine which constitutes the subject-matter of this invention is that of taking one card from each of a number of boxes corresponding with the number of cards in a pack to be produced and each containing cards of only one of the several denominations which constitute the pack and arranging and delivering the cards so taken in a pack. A card from one box having been deposited, it is advanced to position 0 in front of another box, from which another card is deposited upon it, while a new card is deposited at a distance from it from the first box, which in turn is advanced to receive a card from the second box, while the cards 3 5 previously received from the first and second boxes are advanced to the second and third boxes, respectively, to receive cards therefrom, and so on from the first to the last box.

There are several diificulties to be encoun- 4 tered in such operations as above mentioned, namely: First, the cards in the boxes from which they are to be taken to form the packs have a tendency to follow each other in the movement which is only intended to be given to one of them, which makes false packs; second, the device which takes the cards from the boxes to deposit them on the packs may accidentally fail to take a card,which produces incomplete packs; third, the liability of the cards in the boxes to become exhausted and the failure to replenish the boxes; fourth, that the machine is required to compose packs of different nun1bersas thirty-two, thirtysix, and fifty-twoaccording to the game to be played.

My improvement includes means of obviating or overcoming these difficulties.

The invent-ion also embraces means of taking the completed packs of cards from the machine, depositing them on wrappers, and delivering them on the said wrappers to a convenient point or points where attendants are stationed to receive them and fold the wrappers around the packs. The boxes are arranged side by side in a row. receives cards of one denomination only, the cards being different in the several boxes, so that one card from each box will form a complete pack.

The purpose of the machine is to take one card from each box and to arrange it in proper order in a pack in process of formation, then to cause the pack to move forward one step after the reception of each card, to cause it to pass successively in front of all the boxes, and to receive one card from each in such manner that the pack arrives complete at the end of the machine.

In the accompanying drawings, Figures 1 and 1* together represent alongitudinal elevation of the machine partly in section, Fig. 1 showing the left-hand half of the machine and Fig. 1* the right-hand half thereof. Fig. 1* represents a transverse section in the line AB, Fig. 1*, looking toward the right of the 'mechanism, for placing the envelopes and the packs of cards upon the endless apron which carries them to the attendants to be wrapped up. Fig. 2 is a left-hand view of the machine. Figs. 3 and 3* represent together aplan of the machine, Fig. 3 representing the left-hand half and Fig. 3* the right-hand half of the machine. Fig. 4 represents a transverse section 011 a larger scale than the preceding figures in the line C D of Fig. 1. Fig. 5 is a 5 similar section in the line E F, Fig. 1*. Fig.
